Sleeping Each infant’s diaper is changed before the child is put to sleep. Each infant’s schedule for sleep may be different, therefore; we are flexible. Each infant’s method of going to sleep may be different. Some children have a pacifier for naptimes. Many children enjoy being rocked to sleep; others enjoy having their heads stroked. Sometimes a story or soft music will help the infant to wind down. No child will be put in a crib with a bottle or a stuffed toy. Children are placed on their backs to sleep. Each infant has his/her own labeled crib. Sheets are removed weekly and when soiled. Upon waking, some children need some extra time being held to wake up. The child is cuddled which gives that child the extra time needed. After nap, the infant’s diaper is checked, then the infant is ready to play.
